Comment on “Indirect Fitness Benefits Enable the Spread of Host Genes Promoting Costly Transfer of Beneficial Plasmids”

Plasmid transfer contributes significantly to bacterial evolution, but the forces selecting such generosity are poorly understood; this Formal Comment revisits a study which examined these forces both analytically and experimentally, making a correction to the algebra and reaching strikingly differe...
